del pasado

= has-been, of the past, bygone, of yesteryear, gone by

Ex. We are on the way to a transformed library service, total in design (and anything less than totality is doomed as a has-been today).

Ex. This article discusses the use of a metaphorical mode of writing in moralistic children's fiction of the past, where the intention was to make children good.

Ex. There is a definite problem in that the cataloging rules we've had have been firmly rooted in a bygone era.

Ex. Attendance figures indicated the beginnings of a return to participation by many of the big publishers that shunned the show in recent years, although the mammoth stands of yesteryear remained absent = Las cifras de asistencia mostraban el comienzo de una vuelta a la participación de muchos de los editores que no habían asistido a la exposición en los últimos años, aunque los estands gigantescos de antaño seguían estando ausentes.

Ex. I hope my stroll down memory lane has stirred some long forgotten rememberances of good times gone by.
